  Tales of Men and Ghosts

  Edith Wharton

  • 0
  • 0
  • 0

  Tales of Men and Ghosts was published as a collection in 1910, though the first eight of the stories had earlier appeared in Scribner's and the last two in the Century Magazine. Despite the title, the men outnumber the ghosts, since only "The Eyes" and "Afterward" actually call on the supernatural. In only two of the stories are women the central characters, though elsewhere they play important roles. Wharton enjoys subjecting her subjects -- all of them American gentlemen and gentlewomen, in the conventional senses of the word -- to various moral tests and sometimes ironic tests. Some of the stories deal with the intellectual fashions of the day -- "The Blond Beast" basing itself, to some degree, on Nietzsche, and "The Debt" on variants of Darwinism. Though "Afterward" is set in England, and "The Letters" in France, the rest of the stories are squarely in Wharton's own New York city, rather than (say) in what she calls "the soul-deadening ugliness of the Middle West," thus avoiding the need to come to terms with what fashion-conscious New Yorkers still today call "fly-over country" for everything that lies between the west bank of the Hudson River and San Francisco Bay.

  Dead Men Tell No Tales 
   
   
   
  Embalmer's assistant Imogene Lynch may or may not get the final sensations of the dead when she touches their hair. She used to, but something strange is going on. 
   
   
   
  Her sixth sense disappears when the body of a local treasure hunter shows up at Greener Pastures Mortuary. But that doesn't keep her from becoming embroiled in two bone-chilling mysteries. 
   
   
   
  Her boss's lover is awol, and a tipsy ghost is giving her the hiccups. Someone's obviously been murdered. She dearly hopes it's not the missing woman. 
   
   
   
  All clues lead to Catalina Island where rumors of a pirate's buried treasure seem to have incited a gold rush. When Imogene stumbles into a viper's nest, she discovers the dead aren't the only ones with secrets. 
   
   
   
  If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly, ex-hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.

  For fans of C.J. Box, Harlan Coben, and Craig Johnson — a 1977 Wyoming thriller in which a death penalty trial makes a small-town doctor's entire family a target. 
  It starts with a woman shot through the neck at the Meadowlark ski resort and ends with an ax — Patrick Flint's ax — and a burning truck hanging over Clear Creek canyon. In between: a judge who may have arranged his own wife's murder, a coach who definitely did, a conspiracy involving mineral rights and a Wyoming Senate campaign, and Perry Flint, twelve years old, who saw the shooter from the trees and didn't mention it for two weeks. 
  The upcoming trial of Billy Kemecke — the escaped killer from Switchback — is unraveling Buffalo, Wyoming one witness at a time. Judge Ellis dies in his garage. Jeannie Renkin is shot at the ski resort. Someone is picking off everyone connected to the case, and Dr. Patrick Flint's family is at the top of the list. He assembles a neighborhood security team of doctors, vets, and a mayor. The sheriff declines to help. It is not enough. 
  Meanwhile, Trish sneaks out, Brandon cheats, Perry keeps dangerous secrets, and Susanne falls down the back stairs with a head injury that makes her judgment considerably worse than usual. Patrick performs an emergency amputation with an ax in a burning truck. This is a Wednesday in Buffalo, Wyoming, 1977. 
  Sawbones is the third Patrick Flint novel, set in the Buffalo, Wyoming that author Pamela Fagan Hutchins grew up in. The ski slopes are real. The ax is fictional. Mostly. Complete series: 9 novels. 
  A death penalty trial, a sniper at the ski slope, and a mom with a head injury making the family's security decisions. Dr. Flint assembles a posse. It does not go smoothly. Complete series: 9 novels.
